This hits the nail right on the head. The number of drunk people for a state game isn't the issue to me : it's the post game logistical nightmare that does. Ann Arbor just isn't set up for Michigan Football in general, and the crush of everyone leaving at once is just too much for it to handle. While day games are no cupcake either, people are far more likely to linger in town when it's not already 1130pm, lessening the post game traffic jam.

That said, this is the inevitability of the future. We're only going to have more of these, not less. Considering our schedule balance, expect any major non conference game, state, and penn state to be annual night games.

When you donate non-cash property to a charitable organization that has appreciated in value, you're entitled to a deduction at the property's fair market value. Basically the issue here is that Ross took a deduction of $30M on the donation the property, which ross acquired for $3M, and UM had appraised for $6M and sold for $2M. The extra $25M or so in value gave ross a $3M -$5M tax break, more than even what he paid for it per the tax court.

The entire tax planning industry is a game of finding open doors and putting as much stuff through them until Congress or treasury closes those doors. Then you find new doors. Stuff like this happens all the time in large organizations, including the penalty assessment.

Mayweather 120-108 (or less). As the greatest defensive boxer of all time, he won't knock McGregor out, but will simply outbox him, and maybe pick up a knockdown.

That said, what a terrible boring fight this is going to be. I advise everyone on this board to invest in Canelo-GGG instead, which will at least have some value. Buying this thing is the equivalent of pissing $100 down the drain.

Make that a good chance of south beach. Remember: our tie in with the Orange Bowl means the highest ranked B1G team not in the rose bowl and CFP goes there unless outranked by an SEC team. That will be a B1G team considering how highly ranked they are this year.

From my memory (this may have changed) at OSU you don't need to upgrade the ticket if you show a OSU student ID. And by that I mean ANYONE'S student ID. If you're taking your daughter's friends ticket, ask to borrow her student ID as well.

I grew up in Cleveland, and sat in the student section with my OSU friends in my Michigan gear in 2006. Here's a list of things that happened to me during the game:

Skittles/coins thrown at me all game long.

Water bottle empied down the back of my shirt.

A guy in the row behind me threatening to fight me, which my friends defused.

I also sat in the student section for the 2008 game, when none of these things happened.

Although I wore my Michigan gear during the game, I wore a black coat over all of my gear outside the stadium before the game. Where it can get really out of control is outside the stadium, where ushers (who in my several experiences down there, have always been friendly and gone out of their way to make sure I could come to them with any issues) are not present.

Based on my experience, the inside experience should not be something you're worried about. Just be careful outside the stadium. And no, no one will ostrasize the ticket seller because you're a Michigan fan.

Are we really going to judge this person to a different standard than anyone else? We don't know the details of what happened on the sidewalk, but in regards to the fake ID, this seems to be a victimless crime and should be treated as such.

Instead of going to the New Mexico Bowl, get the group of 5 conferences to send their top 4 conference champs (with the exception of any qualifying for the full CFP) to a 4 team tournament to be played during the bowl season. its a way to give these teams something to play for against other high level talent within the group of 5.

It is a well known secret amongst many that the Lloyd Hall Scholars Program (at least it was around 10 years ago when I matriculated) was the backdoor to guaranteeing central campus. Two classes in the dorm (freshman comp in the fall, an arts/writing class in the spring) and your commitment is over. And at least in that program, the overwhelming number of participants were in it for the same reasons your son would likely be for it.

He should reconsider MLCs and their commitments. Not even necessarily from an academic perspective, but from a pure housing situation.

MAcc programs, like those at Michigan, are 100% geared towards careers in public accounting. That's not to say the jump to finance is impossible (I have friends from the program in both I-banking and trading), but they had very uphill battles to fight to get to where they are.

Since leaving Ross, I've worked my entire career within the big 4. Exit opportunities tend to flow into other accounting based opportunities, but that is not always the case. However, as a tax person (and not an auditor), I don't see as much variation in where people go vs the audit side.

With a 720 GMAT, you can take your pick of high-end accounting programs (Michigan being one of them). And at a school like Ross, where the Big 4 are literally drooling to pick up new hires, finding a job in accounting would be relatively easy.
